Low budget SQ car

Who would be interested in having a low budget SQ car built for them. I'm looking to build a car that fills all the basic requirements for IASCA Rookie class and not cost lots to build. So, no really high end brand names or fancy install, just a clean simple system that sounds good.

Anyone?

John, how low budget are you talking about?
Just curious. Would be an interesting project indeed.

If my wife had a car, I'd gladly donate it.
Maybe I should make my dad do it, haha, he doesn't give a flying duck about audio though.

Anyone interested in Southern Ontario should jump on this immediately.

How about pimping out Al's minivan haha.

I would say $1000 or less from start to finish.

This project will ofcourse be started after your car is finished.

The number is just a guess, but yes. An entire system installed and set up for IASCA with a low budget in mind, but still very competitive in SQ.

That's no problem, I just have to stop buying equipment and I'll be good to go.

I did something similar last year, I bought a HU, comp set, RCA, sub amp, Sub and box from shops that put on shows (I will only give them business they support me so I support them). My system looked stock (extra tweets and aftermarket HU) and a big azz RE SX 18" in the back and competed in SQ and SPL at MECA sanctioned events. I did OK mid 140 SPL and 80's in SQ. I did it to make the same point you are, you dont have to spend a ton to compete and win... but I could have stood to spend more to get over 150 db or perform better in World Finals (5th in SQL)
